93%. I got the polygamy question wrong, which leads to this question: if Joseph Smith received a divine revelation that polygamy is desireable, but this revelation was later rescinded, was Joseph Smith a false prophet, or did God change His mind?

False prophet.

Jeff: FLDS (Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints) are pro-polygamy while regular LDS are anti-polygamy. It's weird.

Yeah, I've read that. I don't understand how the LDS church explains the whole situation, though.

Revelation. God doesn't change. but men and society do. Hence at times there are different commandments given to men. Noah was commanded to build an Ark for the salvation of mankind. Through Moses the Lord gave the Children of Israel the Law of Moses and it was revoked when.
